    Well-maintained wood with good walking paths and informative signposts. Home to the remains of an earthwork from ancient times. Café & public loos in the centre of the wood.

    Highgate Wood has an excellent and well-equipped playground, complete with sandpits, climbing equipment of various levels of difficulty and a zip wire that gets very busy at peak times. Read more

    What an amazing place! Wander through the trees or play some frisbee with your children or dog at the fields. There is a cafe where your can get some food or use the toilet facilities.

    Lovely woods, great playground, but most of the paths are dirt paths. So of it is raining your shoes will get quite muddy.

    Queen's Wood cafe chilled and food great. It makes the entire place a must-go destination for parklife, especially with kids. It's all very civilised.
